Re: A History of God
hmm well it doesn't say its gods name does it? you are imposing your own views on the text
anyway this is off topic, start a topic on it if you wish, people who will debate it with you.
by the way i don't call god by those names, he is unknowable

its difficult to believe this because things that are unpublished, may or may not be real. i would love to read it if it exists and it gets published
_________________________________________________________________
Some Apostles testified that there are other things the Lord Jesus had made to prove that He is the Son of God, that if these things are to be written, the world itself is not enough to contain it. THerefore, lucky are those who knew it.

By the way, which event came first, the writings of the Old Testament books by the Apostles or the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls? Is the Dead Sea Scrolls complete?

I'm not even sure what you are saying, the apostles didn't write eather.
the prophets wrote the OT and the dead sea scrolls are unknown, there is no NT text in the dss from what i understand
{abe:what did any of this have to do with anything i posted in your qoutes?}

Re: A History of God?
Now I know whom shall I suppose to exchange ideas with.
By the way, please read the Gospel of John 21:25 and it might help you understand what I have said.

Re: A History of God?
I stand to be corrected. What I mean is which event came first, the writings of the "New Testament" by the "Apostles" or the discovery of the "Dead Sea Scroll?" Is the Dead Sea Scroll complete with what it supposed to contain?
It very logical that even the present day Bible does not completely contain what it supposed to contain. Thus, our understanding on the history of God as partially mentioned in the Old and New Testament is very limited.

Re: A History of God?
the rss is not just one scroll it is 800 documents spaning a lot of religious documents. they more than likely are older than the NT texts since they date as earily as 200 bce. Sorry but do some reading on the rss because it seems to me you need to, just some advice
It very logical that even the present day Bible does not completely contain what it supposed to contain. Thus, our understanding on the history of God as partially mentioned in the Old and New Testament is very limited.
its not based on logic its based on what the church wanted in the bible, have you ever read about the council of nicea? First Council of Nicaea - Wikipedia
of course its limited humans can't understand god, but this is our view point on god so its not limited in human understanding

Re: A History of God?
your posts are all over the place, please stick to a topic for debate, i havn't a clue what you are on about.
by the way repeating the same thing over and over again just leads to frustration, i would like to understand the point of this in your own words not read scripture

Man's Point of View.
RSS? Do you mean Red Sea Scroll? It must be DSS (Dead Sea Acroll). And, it is not exactly "800" documents but "around 800" which means more or less. Sorry but you seems to be misleading.
You got my point! The "DSS" is one of the most reliable references the church has on pre-Christian eras' religious records. But I supposed, although it is voluminous still it doesn't contain all the other scrolls that must written for the same purposes.
I checked your link but sorry it is more on church (Catholicism) issues and I personally reject some of its views. Besides, it is not the sole authority/reference we must subscribe with.

STOP right here
The book nook is a place to discuss one particular book. All the debate about what is in the Bible is OT.

    Just a reply.
    A reply is simple a reaction to the previous statement.
